cause most social conservatives don't care much about human rights after birth and many are pro death penalty, well unless you are trying to keep a person in some form of forced vegetative state.

I swear so much more often now, simply because profanity is the only way to express how I feel about these individuals in charge of things.

You can be pro-choice but anti-abortion for your own choice.

People who want to deny choice to others are anti-choice, and support forced birth.

It is a binary thing and it is that simple.

ETA: Or we could call them fetus fetishists, because they tend to worship the fetus but not care one bit what happens after it is born.

That says a lot... You are against free choice, against "freedom" to make your own decisions.

Because that's essentially what it's all about. People writing laws trying to stamp out abortion rights don't want women to be able to CHOOSE to have an abortion (And, I might add, in the Northern Marianas Islands/Saipan, they don't want their female indentured servants to be able to choose NOT to have an abortion if their sweatshop/sex club bosses demand it).

I like it better than anti-choice. Pro-life people see adoption and raising the child as two possible options. So, technically, they are not "anti-choice". The only choice they don't accept is abortion. So, anti-abortion fits.

I have known anti-abortion people to call themselves pro-choice. I hate it, but I've seen it.

If they were pro-life, they would be pro-health care for all, pro-education, pro-jobs, pro-fair pay, and anti-death penalty.

The people who would go out in the streets and protest the bizarre and undemocratic thought that just maybe you don't need a belt-fed AR-15 that comes complete with a free pack of 50 Hillary Clinton targets also believe it's God's Will that the embryo lodged halfway up your Fallopian tube should be allowed to make you bleed to death.
